Stretching to Sketch-WEEK #3

I decided to participate in Kelly Berkey's "Stretching to Sketch" challenge. We start out viewing a photo that she has taken of herself or one that her husband has taken of her. The idea is to stretch, draw and paint the human form. Kelly mentions: "I was always the photographer NEVER the subject". Boy, does that feel familiar. This is my response to Week #3. I started out on a 4x6 card with the image that was painted using acrylics. I painted and stamped a page in my journal then pasted the card onto that page. Also used inks, pencil and a little bit of pastels. According to the rules, there are no rules. You can do whatever inspires you, which could be charcoal, pencil, sculpture, wire-work, watercolor, mixed media... You can check out the other entries here. Come over and join in on the fun if you are so moved.
